"The glory that shall be revealed in us" "Jesus took Peter, John and his brother Jacques," and that led them up a high mountain, they showed the brightness of his glory. Because even if they had understood that the majesty of God dwelt in him, they were unaware that his body, which concealed his divinity had to share the power of God. That is why the Lord expressly promised, a few days before, that among his followers "some present here will not taste death before they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom" (Mt 16,28), c that is to say in the royal flush ... which suited specifically to human nature he had taken ... This transfiguration was originally designed to remove the heart disciples scandal of the cross, for the humility of the Passion voluntarily undergone does not disturb the faith of those who have seen the greatness of the dignity hidden. But by the same foresight, transfiguration established in the Church of Jesus hope for the support, so that the members of the Body of Christ understand what change would operate them one day, they were called to in the glory they saw shine in their head, in their heads. In this regard, the Lord himself had said, speaking of the majesty of his coming: "Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father" (Mt 13,43). And the Apostle Paul says the same thing when he said: "I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that shall be revealed in us" (Romans 8:18). And in another passage: "For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God, when Christ shall appear, who is your life, then you also will appear with him in glory" (Col 3 ,3-4).
